Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenge #18

Welcome to Round #18 of the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenges. This challenge is open to any Dgrin member. It will run from Monday, January 26, 08:00am, EST time (GMT -5) to Monday, February 9, 08:00am, EST time (GMT -5).

The topic ready for your interpretation: High Key or Low Key

Your Judges:
sherstone (Winner of DSS Round #16)
Nikolai (Guest Judge)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your entry is to be submitted directly into a Smugmug gallery. It's pretty simple, just go to the gallery link below, and follow the upload instructions at the top of the page:

DSS#18 Entry Gallery

Remember, the basics stay the same: 1 entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during this contest period. Do not use a minimal save method (such as "save for web"), and your exif will be embedded in your image, no worries!

To avoid disqualification, read, in full, the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenge Rules, there have been some slight modifications.

Oh, awesome. Perfect timing.

divamum · Jan-26-2009, 06:12 AM #4

Oooooo.... being pulled out of the comfort zone! I have to say that the more general the topic the harder I find it, so this is Good For Me (if a bit terrifying!)

Good on ya Emily for continuing to challenge us. After all, that's what it's about!

travelways · Jan-26-2009, 06:18 AM #5

Oh no.... this high key again...

At least, thank to Nikolai, I know a little more about this now that I new before (zero)

PS: Thank you Pyro for the link

Can't wait to see what you're planning on cooking up for this one!

Greensquared · Jan-26-2009, 06:34 AM #7

Glad you're liking the themes.

I have a whole list that I am now handpicking for each round. I have so many that I am really excited about and I'm trying to save some of my favorites for the warmer weather.

By the way, this is the last round before the 3rd Mega-Challenge.

If you haven't already qualified, now's the time to put your very best effort forward! Woohoo! Shoot on, Sharp Shooters!!!

Travis · Jan-26-2009, 07:08 AM #8

These have been great Emily! I just wish that my real job would lighten up a little so I can get back to participating regularly.

THANK YOU

leahe · Jan-26-2009, 05:40 PM #13

Thank you for the link Pyro. I didn't know anything about Low Key and High Key photography until now. When I saw the topic I thought of it in a more literal sense then thought of the personalities of people. I'm sure I will come up with an even different way to think about it when I come back to see this thread again. That's what is so great about this forum. It helps you see in ways you never thought possible.

Greensquared · Jan-26-2009, 06:00 PM #14

I intentionally added no "blurb" to this one. High key and low key are very much specific photographic techniques, but I also wanted to leave it completely open to other interpretations.

That is what makes this more desirable and more fun!

thanks!

ellarue · Jan-27-2009, 05:48 AM #16

I'm BACK!!!

I'm sooo happy this is the challenge I came back on! When we did this in school, I did a low key portrait. But for this challenge, I decided to do the harder one and go for the snowy white scene.

I hope I can make it to the finals with this!

This is a great challenge!

midiman · Jan-27-2009, 01:45 PM #17

OOPS.

I posted a pic and THEN read the rule about it needed to be a recent shot.

Forgive this newbie the excess of enthusiasm.

I promise to read the rules next time.

Deleted. At least you admitted to it publicly and have avoided the usual wet noodle lashing.
